Level up lunch with this reuben sandwich. Each ingredient adds a unique element—from savory and salty corned beef to briny sauerkraut to nutty Swiss cheese. The lightly sweet and tangy flavor of Thousand Island brings them all together in the most delectable way. It's a classic for a reason!

Ingredients
- 4 slices marbled rye bread
-
¼ cup Primal Kitchen Thousand Island Dressing (plus more for serving, optional)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 6 ounces thinly sliced corned beef
- ½ cup sauerkraut, drained well
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions
Place two slices of bread on a cutting board. Spread about a tablespoon of Thousand Island Dressing on each. Top with one slice of Swiss cheese.
- Fold the slides of corned beef in half and arrange on top of the cheese, dividing equally between the two sandwiches.
- Make sure the sauerkraut is well drained. If needed, place in a sieve and press with a fork to remove excess brine. Spoon over the two sandwiches and spread into an even layer. Top each sandwich with another slice of cheese.
Spread the remaining Thousand Island Dressing on the two remaining slices of bread and place dressing side down on the sandwiches.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully spread a layer of butter on the top of each sandwich and place buttered side down in the skillet. Optionally, top with a grill press.
- Grill for about 3 minutes on the first side, or until bread is toasted and cheese starts to melt. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.) Before flipping, spread more butter on the top. Flip and toast again on the second side.
Remove to a plate and let cool for a minute. Cut on the diagonal and serve with a ramekin of Thousand Island Dressing for dipping.
